I really wish I can decode baby's language. When they cry this way, what do they want. When they refused to sleep, how can I lure them to... I am sure many papas and mamas wish for the same thing. Lately I am getting a lil impatient with lil Eden, especially when he is crying for "no reason". I wish I know why. Sometimes it gets to a point when I really feel like throwing him on the bed and just leave him alone. Sounds bad to say that but when I feel like doing that, I am really helpless and don't know how to progress!
I then realised I did not do a good job managing myself. Personal mastery, PIES (Self care) and reframing. Too quick to react to that instance when the lil fellow fusses. And my reaction gets worse when I am tired because I am more stressed. Woah, some character building is needed, yes even at my age.
Probably because of the stress or exhaustion or irregular pumps, my milk supply seems to have dropped. So now I am trying my best to catch up.
My papa has been more hands on by helping to carry the lil one and feed him. Oh and he also carries and pats the lil one to sleep at night but sadly the lil one was not cooperative last night. Lately Eden refuses to be put into the sarong even though he shows signs of sleepiness. Once put him in, he cries as though he is in pain. I think only my mom could appease him after some coaxing. It is quite painful to make him sleep, only recently. Now I also have phobia putting him into the sarong! I wish he is the baby who can doze off on bed, am I too greedy, lol.
The theory makes it sound easy to decipher a baby's cries. So when the baby cries, it's either hunger, soiled diaper, ill, in pain, discomfort, over stimulation or tiredness. See, not easy cos they are soooo many possibilities. When we tackle the baby for the wrong guess, the baby will cry even harder and scarier. Can only say with experience, things should get better?
Every day is a new challenge.
